Sony Ericsson P990i

got your pm jo, my brain is ticking over as to what it might be. all my guys who work for me also have p990s and we all talk and run business from im+ and no one has had this problem. me thinks it might have something to do with permissions
 
Thanks guys for keeping the thread alive. I have nothing useful to add so I'm just reading what you guys are posting!

does anyone else get TAGMA error with CODE 8 using Mig33 or any other application?

what is a TAGMA error?
 
A quick google search shows that TAGMA is some sort of low-level text editor for symbian devices.

Unfortunately I have no idea what that particular error message means.

Master reset sounds like a good idea...:(

For those who wants to go a bit deeper..:

Symbian’s UIQ Hidden Service Menu: :eek:


There is a hidden service menu in Sony Ericsson’s UIQ 3 smartphones. It can be accessed in Flip closed mode on the main screen (so called "Activity menu") or using the virtual phone keypad in Phone application. In emergency (e.g. when you need to reformat the phone) the engineering menu can also be accessed on the "Enter PIN" screen after turning the phone on.

To activate the hidden menu close the flip or use the virtual keypad and enter the following combination:

jog dial up * jog dial down jog dial down * jog dial down *

The Service information screen contains following options: Service information, Service tests and Format internal disk.

Service information menu displays information about phone model, software (firmware) versions, IMEI number of the device, information about sim-locks and a list of supported GSM/UMTS bands and speech codec rates.

Service tests section lets you test various hardware components of your device, including speakers, microphone, keyboard, camera, touch screen, vibrator, memory card and more.

The "Format internal disk" function lets you fully format the internal storage memory of your phone. This is useful if you want to get rid of all your data (e.g. when you're going to sell the phone) or if you are experiencing problems with the device. Be careful with this feature.

This information comes from the www.my-symbian.com website. :cool:

I'm afraid those instructions won't work on a P990i, ErnestF.

If you're talking about a jog-dial that goes up and down, you're talking either about the P800, P900 or P910, which all have 5 way jog-dials. The P990i only has a 3 way jog-dial - left, forward and right.

I seriously hope you haven't damaged your P990i's jog-dial. :eek:

*Let me guess - it's your first SE P-series phone? Welcome to our world. ;)

jogdial down means turn the jogdial one click downwards towards the bottom of the phone ( where the charger port is ), then press the * key once....the combination above certainly pulls up the hidden service menu on my phone...

@kingrob.....hmmm I'd describe the jogdial direections as " up / down / in " rather ...has the king been indulging in some Grolsch perhaps ? ;)
( holding the phone vertically anyway, holding it for landscape viewing I would concede your description ! )




:p

@ErnstF -

Select Control panel-->Connections-->Internet Accounts-->click the arrow at top of Internet Account screen-->Options-->Preferred Mode-->Select CS only.

The blue GPRS triangle above your signal strength indicator will blank out.
If you browse the web or receive an mms, the phone activates it automatically for the duration of the connection and switches it off again afterwards .

Thanx alot

Hi King.

Yip - first SE phone. Really enjoying it. Really learning alot.
Saw myself as quite clued up with cellphones, IT etc, but after getting the P990 my confidence is rock botton. Used to have a Nokia 6230 which I knew and used inside out.

PS: Jog dial still working fine - thanx. Went to Vodacare Store today to get internet sorted out - guy helped me - everything working 100% - decided to do master reset tonight due to kernel and .exe errors. Lost internet settings - will have 2 go to Vodacom again tomorrow. Learning the hard way. :rolleyes:

The queen is right - the king has just managed to reproduce the results mentioned in Gecko's post. This was obviously a deliberate mistake by the king, made to lure the queen from hiding... :)

ErnestF, if you take the phone and start playing with it, it will be a day or two before you know most of how the P990i works. It is a great phone, but I'm sure you've already figured that out. ;)

*The king will not tolerate the queen sticking out her tongue at him - this has happened twice now & really sends the wrong message to the humble servants of the kingdom. Next time, the king will order a spanking for the queen. :)

I'm sure you don't have to go to Vodacom for your internet settings, send a PM to Vodacom3G, he can help you with it. (Look under the Vodacom Broadband thread) ;)
